AC>> Do you see this as a problem? This makes it impossible to detect at AC>> runtime whether or not your saved variables will be available later. They are. That's like fiving you means to check if your head is still on you. If it isn't, you've in deep trouble anyway, so no need for additional check. Same with sessions - if it cannot save, that means session module is dead, and no amount of checks is going to help you anyway. AC>> It seems wrong to find out later that a variable you know you tried to AC>> save earlier is not available. Seems to make more sense to catch the AC>> problem as early as possible. Like when? When sessions fails to save, it gives you a warning. If it didn't fail, nobody can give you any kind of indication would it fail or not - PHP core has no extrasensory abilities. -- Stanislav Malyshev stas@zend.com +972-3-6139665 ext.106
